Peace of Mind

Posted on by

“Peace of mind”
is the grace
being called forth
amidst the chaos.

Peace originates
in the heart
where there is
no judgment
no identity
no need to defend.

Peace originates
in the heart
where love abides
for all that is
without the need
to interfere.

It is only the mind
that is thronging
with insistent chatter.

When we sink into the heart
herein lies the grace of
“Peace of Mind”.

Nature’s Subtle Quietness

Posted on by

There is a subtle quietness
on the eve of the autumn equinox
as nature takes her last inbreathe
inhaling all the abundance
and all the beauty
she has sown forth.

There is a subtle quietness
before she exhales
initiating the changing of the season
with leaves fluttering to the ground
and petals unfurling
for their last hurrah.

There is a subtle quietness
as the days get shorter
and nights get longer
calling us into
an inner embrace of silence
where all things
are quiet and at peace.

There is much to be learned
from nature’s subtle silence
between the in-breathe
and the out-breath
where all things
are transitioning
with ease and grace.

Soul Speaks without Words

Posted on by

The Soul speaks without words . . .

why does spirituality
feel the need to explain itself
with so much mental jargon
so many verbal teachings
so many affirmations
so many incantations
so many words
so much noise

that it drowns out the Soul.

Time Away

Posted on by

Time spent away
from the usual life activities
totally immersing myself
in a new realty with my Soul
allowing everything
that no longer resonates
to effortlessly dissolve

Feeling. . .
embraced
supported
loved
honored
blessed
by my Soul
in a new state of well-being
with my desire to create anew.

Serenity of Source

Posted on by

Life may seem in turmoil
as it shifts and shimmies
continually evolving
from the old into the new.

That which you perceive
as maelstrom in life
is simply the decay of the old
as the new sprouts forth.

At the very core
beneath what you
perceive as chaos
lies the Serenity of Well-being.

For, Source only knows
the perfection of life
the essence of well-being
and the joy of creation.

When we expand our consciousness
beyond our human perspective
experiencing life
as Source experiences life

Herein lies our innate serenity
our sense of well-being
our radiant health
our infinite flow of abundance.

Perceiving as Source
life takes on a whole new hue
free of worry and judgment
filled with joy and delight.

See with the eyes of Source
hear with the ears of Source
feel with the heart of Source
Be Source.

Sweet Bliss of the Breeze

Posted on by

SWEET BLISS OF THE BREEZE

There are days when
our soul is calling out
to withdraw from the world
to do nothing more
than simply swing
in the sweet bliss of the breeze
savoring our earthly garden
allowing our physicality to rest
to take a deep breath
and enjoy all the abundance
that is blossoming around us
while listening to the sweet whispers
of our infinite Divinity.

Gentle Sweetness to Life

Posted on by

The human
who has been conditioned
to living in duality
is always seeking
something more
to push beyond their limits
to attain more success
to experience more drama
only to crash and burn
as the pendulum swings
in the opposite direction.

Even spirituality
has one on a path
of constantly seeking
more of themselves
expansion of the I Am
attainment of a higher path
the expression of goodness
eradication of darkness
an escalation of the light
a more explosive
orgasmic experience.

Between the excessive
swings of the pendulum
there is a zero point
a stillness
a silence
a point of balance
a sense of harmony
when we pause
and take a breath
the extremes
of the pendulum cease.

When we
abandon the search
of reaching outside ourselves
when we listen and abide
by our innate rhythms
a sublime pleasure
sweeps through us
and at our core
we discover
there is a gentle
sweetness to life.

Purity of the Moment

Posted on by

Having released so much
I rest in the purity
of this moment
this spaciousness
this no-thing-ness
without the desire
to fill it

Instead I allow
my new resonance
to draw to me
that which
is in harmony
with this moment
leading effortlessly
into the next
and the next
and the next. . .

Soul Breath

Posted on by

Pause for just a moment
your own precious moment
withdraw from the hubbub of life

Pause for just a moment
take a deep breath
find your still point within

Feel your Soul
breathing into you
filling you with the grace of the Divine

Feel your Soul
soothing you
transforming all that’s not of Love

Pause for just a moment
a very precious moment
going deep within

Pause for just a moment
this very precious moment
with a deep Soul breath
and find Peace.

Depth of Listening

Posted on by

The pitter patter of words
at times they are
the expression of who we are
what we are feeling
what we are experiencing.

At other times
they constrict us
from expanding
beyond the mind
where there are no words.

Consider your words
use them wisely
simplify when speaking to those
who do not speak
your spiritual language.

Maintain the silence
when there is more to offer
than mere words
for in the silence
the depth of listening heals all.

The sound of our of words
carry great power
and….
the lack of words
can be equally as powerful.
